Chapter 341 A Solution Out of the Ordinary
Chapter 341 A Solution Out of the Ordinary
"It's been a long time. Although we haven't met much, I often see you on TV. Whether it's in the Doubles Tournament, the Mikkuri Cup, or the Sinnoh NOW program, you always perform exceptionally well. You could say you're a celebrity in the Sinnoh region now."
Lei Si's words carried a hint of mockery.
Xiao Zhi just laughed helplessly.
This kind of fame is indeed quite troublesome.
Furthermore, news of his capture of Darkrai hasn't been released yet, so he'll probably become popular again in the Sinnoh region.
Xiao Zhi has a fairly clear understanding of himself.
Perhaps it was because the old captain's propaganda speed was so terrifying; he had just subdued Darkrai the day before, and the residents of Canal City knew about it the next day.
"And, Hikaru..."
After teasing Ash, Rai turned to Dawn.
But the next second Lei Si was a little stunned. His left hand, which had been hanging down from the car window, was now rubbing his chin.
He always felt that Xiao Guang seemed a little strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong, so he simply gave up thinking about it and started teasing Xiao Guang.
"You two are still as close as ever. Are you out for a walk together today too?"
"Ah, um...yes..."
Xiao Zhi stammered in response.
Since Rai has already said that, it seems inconvenient for Ash to explain anything further.
Since Ash didn't say anything, it was even more inconvenient for Salvia, who was standing next to him, to say anything. Both of them just had awkward smiles on their faces.
"?"
The two's unusual behavior only made Lei Si more confused.
But the topic was ultimately overshadowed by Ash's purpose in arriving in Celeste City.
After learning that Ash had not found Sylvanas at the Crest City Gym, Rai offered to let Ash and Sylvanas get in the car and take them to Sylvanas.
......
Pokémon Trainer School.
It is also called a trainer training school.
It is one of the three major landmark buildings in Chefton City, Chefton Gym, and Snow Peak Temple.
The Trainer Academy in the northernmost city of Chefton basically only recruits local children who aspire to become Trainers.
Lei Si's car slowly came to a stop in front of the Trainer Academy.
The sound of the engine shutting off attracted the attention of the crowd on the trainer school playground. Xiao Song, who was squatting on the snow playing with the children, noticed Lei Si and the others standing at the door. So she stopped playing with the children, waved her hand, and ran over.
"Brother Lei Si!"
Lei Si and Xiao Song already knew each other before.
And I'm quite familiar with it.
So, during their time together, Xiao Song began to call Lei Si "Brother Lei Si" to show his affection.
After exchanging a brief greeting with Raiji, Xiaosong noticed Ash and Salvia standing behind Raiji.
Before Lei Si could even begin to introduce them, Xiao Song confidently declared, "I know, I know! Ash, right? You're here to challenge the Cutting Edge Gym!"
Do you know Ash Ketchum too?
“Of course!” Xiao Song put her hands on her hips. “Ash is a celebrity in the Sinnoh League now! As a Gym Leader, you must know Ash! After all, Ash is currently the most sought-after person in the League— um? cough cough, no, never mind, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Xiao Song's attempt to cover up her true intentions was self-evident; just hearing the first half of her sentence was enough to guess what she was trying to say.
After realizing this, Raiji cast a surprised look at Ash.
It's no small feat to gain the favor of the Sinnoh League, especially since Ash was directly promoted by the Sinnoh League to gym leaders all over the world.
That means that, basically, if Ash wants to, the Sinnoh League will offer him the treatment of a Gym Leader or even an Elite Four member.
Salvia is intelligent, and even though she doesn't understand the League, she can clearly sense Ash's importance within it.
For a moment, Salvia's gaze toward Ash held a new emotion, one of admiration.
This kind of gaze made Xiaozhi a little uncomfortable.
So he quickly started asking about the gym challenge.
When will the gym challenge begin?
The night is long and many things may happen; Shinji and Asuna should arrive in Kirito City tomorrow.
Ash still wants to determine the time for the gym challenge as soon as possible.
"Hmm...Are you in a hurry?"
Xiao Song scratched his head.
She didn't realize that Ash wanted to take on another gym challenge tomorrow, but since Ash said that, he must be in a hurry, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Song naturally couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Fine!"
Xiao Song smiled and agreed.
"Then let's have the challenge at the Kirito Dojo in an hour! I need to finish my class first!"
With only half an hour left before Pokémon School lets out today, Xiaosong, as one of the few teachers here, naturally has to make sure she completes her teaching tasks well.
"Huh? Wait? No, I meant tomorrow—"
"Tomorrow? I'm not free tomorrow~ I have to go out tomorrow, so if I want to take on the challenge, I have to seize today's opportunity."
Ash: "......"
Xiaosong explained that she had to go out, because if she missed today, the Qiefeng Dojo would probably have to close for a few days.
Xiaosong explained it later.
She said she had to go to do something assigned by the League, and as the gym leader, she had to be there. In other words, the closure of the Chess Edge Gym was required by the League, and there's probably nothing anyone can do about it no matter how urgent it is.
Xiao Zhi fell silent.
Based on their itinerary, they definitely wouldn't be able to stay in Chefven for six or seven days.
If Xiaoguang stays here too long, he will miss several grand tournaments later.
With only the last ribbon medal remaining, Xiao Guang couldn't afford to waste any more time that afternoon.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi had no choice but to nod in agreement.
As for Xiaoguang...
Judging from his expression, Ash still wanted Dawn to sleep a little longer. Breaking the contract was indeed wrong of him, but it was the only option he could find.
"OK~ It's settled then. Before the start time, you can take a look around the Pokémon School. Oh, by the way, there are some of your fans at the school too."
After giving a brief explanation to Ash and Salvia, Xiaosong left.
Seeing that Ash and Sakura had already agreed on a time for their gym challenge, Rai took his leave first. He had some things to help someone move and said that he would also be there to watch Ash's match in an hour.
.......
P.S.: I'm asking for a gift every day~ QAQ~!
(Every Tuesday is exhausting. I have to get up at 5:40 am for my duty, then there's a Chinese language group lesson preparation activity in the afternoon, and then evening self-study until 10:20 pm. Tomorrow morning I have two classes in a row, and then I have to prepare lessons all night! ( ? ^ ? ) )
